Gifting Forward: Offering Light into the World

Advent is the season of preparing for the Lord’s coming. Faith Presbyterian Church gives thanks for the ability to worship and in response, we offer our gifts to serve the people who may not be so fortunate.

The Mission Team of Faith Presbyterian Church invites us to Gift Forward by providing for others through Hygiene and School Kits. These are requested by Church World Services (CWS), which will distribute the disaster kits to help those affected by recent hurricanes, fires in our country or around the world.

Every Sunday in December bring in the items listed below for a complete hygiene or school kit. Notice that some items are very specific, as they have to fit into certain mailing packaging.

A Gifting Forward Tree will be in the narthex to receive your kit items.

If you do not wish to shop for kit items, but want to help out, each kit costs about $15. You may write a check to Faith Church and note ‘kits’ in memo line.

On Epiphany, Sunday, January 6, between services and after the traditional service, we will have an assembly line to package the kit items.

CWS has been distributing thousands of these kits, recently. More than 21,000 went to survivors of Hurricane Florence, for instance. More are needed and if you can do one for the month or four for the month, all will be accepted with gratitude as we are Gifting Forward to help others during this Advent season.

If you have any questions about any item please direct them to Nancy Curran. 317-371-2871 text or nlcurran07@yahoo.com.
